HOUSTON – Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton can’t stop talking about his New Orleans days.
“Brings it up every week,” one veteran Broncos reporter said here Sunday. “Every week. ‘This is how we did it in New Orleans.’”
Payton’s Broncos played as close to New Orleans (four hours west) Sunday as he has been this season in his first year with the Broncos after leaving the Saints on his own following the 2021 season. The Broncos‘ magical, five-game winning streak ended with a 22-17 loss to the Texans, dropping them to 6-6.

On Monday, the PGA Tour announced the five finalists for the 2023 Player of the Year award.
On Monday morning, the PGA Tour released the five finalists for the 2023 Player of the Year award. This title has been handed out every year since 1990, with legendary figures such as Rory McIlroy (3), Fred Couples (2) and Nick Price (2) having won multiple times in the past.
Of course, Tiger Woods lapped the field since the Jack Nicklaus Award was first presented. He won it a ridiculous 11 times, including five straight from 1999 through 2003.
It’s only Monday but we already have the wildest, most unbelievable report of the new NFL week: It comes from The Athletic, which is reporting the Jets are leaning toward returning to Zach Wilson as their starting quarterback.
Makes sense. Tim Boyle is not a good NFL quarterback and everyone saw what Trevor Siemian did Sunday (5 of 13 for 66 yards) when he was inserted into the game against the Falcons after Boyle was benched.
It was bad. All bad.
But here comes the crazy and outrageous part:
Wilson, benched earlier this season and demoted to the No.
The College Football Playoff is set and many fans aren’t happy about the four teams selected. Both Michigan (Big Ten) and Washington (Pac-12), as undefeated Power 5 conference champions, were locks to make the Playoff. Texas (Big 12, future SEC school) and Alabama (SEC) — one-loss Power 5 conference champions — got in over undefeated Power 5 champion Florida State (ACC) and many fans blame ESPN.
As everyone knows by now, Florida State lost its starting quarterback due to injury. Despite that, their resume speaks for itself.
The Commanders lost their fourth straight game to the Dolphins in Week 13, as they were defeated 45—15 in a rout at FedEx Field. The struggles appear to be getting to one of their best players.
Two-time Pro Bowler Jonathan Allen, who was short, sweet and to the point in his postgame comments to the media, made his weekly appearance on 106.7 The Fan on Monday and opened up about the effect the Commanders’ losing is having on him.
When asked if he ever thinks about leaving the organization, Allen replied that he “1000%” does, per Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan.
Saints quarterback Derek Carr has endured a rough season in terms of injuries.
The veteran quarterback was hit hard on multiple plays during Sunday’s 33–28 loss to the visiting Lions, and one particular hit by Detroit defensive end Bruce Irvin caused Carr to remain on the ground and receive medical attention. He exited the game and didn’t return.
New Orleans coach Dennis Allen announced Monday that Carr is in concussion protocol for the second time in the past month. He also is being evaluated for rib injury.
At this point, Tiger Woods has nearly as many comebacks as majors won. As he attempts his latest return, it’s worth establishing new expectations for the legend.
Three-time All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard is signing a one-year deal with the Eagles, according to NFL Network and ESPN. Leonard also visited the Cowboys when exploring his options, but he ultimately decided on Philadelphia.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
NFL MVP is usually a quarterback award. But according to Shawne Merriman, there’s another position player making a strong case this season.
Appearing on OutKick’s Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich Monday, the former All-Pro linebacker explained why Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill could be hard for the voters to ignore.
“I know it’s been a quarterback driven league or whatnot. But at the same time, man, what he’s doing, and if he continues on his pace, it’d be the most anyone’s ever done in that position,” Merriman said.
